Some might consider that a fair distinction between the two bindings,
although both camps have included code from the other at one point or
another.  IMO, Arno's (http://ruby-gsl.sourceforge.net/) is a bit more
of a straight forward binding whereas Yoshiki added a few things to
round some corners (and hence it's the one I use).  Also, Yoshiki put
a good deal of time into documentation - which is always a good thing!
